## What is Sci?

Add some Sci-Fi to your Home Screen. 
This widget making tool is for displaying many types of information with great styling customization.
You can display multiple widgets, all with their own unique style and info in Large, Medium, and Small widget sizes
You can change the layout, background, fonts and colors, and even use your own images.
*Offline contains the pre-made template backgrounds, but the background selection section needs internet to download from online.

DISPLAYABLE INFORMATION:
• Digital clock
• Analog clock (some with second hand to show a little animation)
• Calendar
• Date/Day
• System info (battery, brightness, memory, storage)
• Countdown/Days since
• Step count - Distance - Floors
• Display contacts (just opens this widget app)

These are generic sci-fi styles to to keep the coolness of how designers imagined future interfaces past and present on low and high budgets, but actual display real information instead of meaningless gobbledygook. 
* Please do not ask in reviews or by mail to include any trademarked names, logos, images or other properties. NSTEnterprises respects copyrights and will not include them.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 14

*2026-04-28*

I followed the instructions exactly and it only shows an empty box. I also saw another comment mentioning it doesn’t allow widgets on the lock screen and despite the reply that an update had fixed that issue I was also unable to add anything to my lock screen.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Everything is working fine on my iPhone 14 simulator. Did you grant the permissions and set a theme? Did you long press the widget to edit to choose it? Can you send a screen video of you trying to set a theme and add the widget to your home screen? *These are only Home Screen widgets. There should be no mention of them working on the lock screen. Perhaps the reply referred to a different issue that was fixed.

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2025-12-26*

I always admire your work, too bad that I don’t use android anymore to enjoy all the good stuff like the old days as the trek music player, the trek weather , the lock trek and all of that, keep up the good work and I hope we can see those again here in the IOS community 👍

### 4/5 — Great but..

*2025-09-20*

While it’s great on my phone for setting up a TNG-style Home Screen, it’s not so good on my A16 iPad. It needs the option to make the rectangle widgets much bigger so that the option is there to scale better.

### 5/5 — Star Trek Tech

### 1/5 — Red alert Fail

*2025-05-17*

Red alert Not worth it  not only that they
 Make it sound like u have a hundred templets to make your awesome back ground , nope it sucked limited

**Developer response:** It's like the previews with lots of templates and backgrounds. Can you give more detail about the problem at trektheme@gmail.com? Perhaps you had a slow connection to load the images. keep scrolling and they will load. They are high quality, so be patient.

### 1/5 — 돈버렸네 결재하지마세요

*2024-09-05*

계속다운되고 설정도 안됨

**Developer response:** Please write to trektheme@gmail.com And tell me any further details. * After downloading, you should set the wallpaper from your gallery app. *You also need to be online to download a lot of the backgrounds.

### 3/5 — iPhone does not recognize app

*2024-08-30*

Can’t get any widgets to load because they’re not recognized as being available for use. The directions are vague, and the step-by-step directions causally disappear before you can even read each step. It doesn’t work don’t waste your money.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Have you since gotten it working? If not, write to trektheme@gmail.com and I can help. *Most common reason is people think the widgets are only in the top of the list with the previews of them, instead of scrolling down to the Sci-Fi Widgets (looks like it's just a regular app icon) and selecting that. There are 3 size options you need to choose from first and add to the home screen.

### 4/5 — Really fun widgets, wish there was more customization

*2024-05-25*

These widgets are really fun if you’re a Star Trek fan or just of sci-fi! The LCARS widgets fit perfectly with my lcars/padd inspired phone and iPad backgrounds. The only thing I would wish for is more customization of the widget backgrounds. The presets are great, but are limited to the preset color scheme. Even just being able to switch colors around would make this 5/5 for me!

**Developer response:** Thank you! You can change all of the text colors. Click to edit, then look for the tabs of each text and then edit their colors.

### 5/5 — Instructions now included

*2024-05-24*

A guide is now present and I am able to use it properly. I like it

**Developer response:** Please try the latest update that changed Sci-Fi Clock to Sci-Fi: Widgets Maker. It is a massive upgrade that can do and display much more.

### 3/5 — Ok, aber letztes Update war keine Verbesserung

*2024-05-24*

Läuft soweit gut, hat nette Bilder zur Auswahl
Was aber 2 Sterne Abzug gibt, ist das nach dem letzten Update alle meine Widgets zerschossen waren, weil die jeweiligen Vorlagen alle entfernt und durch andere ersetzt wurden. Diese haben andere Platzierungen, weniger flexibel, von Zeit, Datum etc und mein altes Layout ist so nicht mehr möglich. Das ist mehr als ärgerlich!
